The Voice of the LORD upon Waters - Psalms 29:3

In Psalms chapter twenty-nine David said “Give unto the LORD, O you mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness”, and in chapter twenty nine and verse three of Psalms David said, “the voice of the LORD is upon the waters”, where we read,

The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is upon many waters.

The verse begins, The voice of the LORD is upon the waters:” David began with the words, “The voice of the LORD” which means “the sound and noise of proclamation and thunder belonging to Jehovah who is the exiting One and the proper name for the One True God” “is upon the waters” or “exists upon the watercourse, water-floods or water-springs”. David declared Jehovah God's “sound of proclamation” to echo or be over the oceans or seas of the earth.

The verse continues,the God of glory thunders: the LORD is upon many waters.” David added the words, “the God of glory” or “the mighty, powerful and strong Almighty and Supreme God” “thunders” which means “trembles and makes a sound or violent agitation like thunder”: “the LORD” or “Jehovah who is the existing One and the proper name for the One True God” “is upon many waters” which means “exists upon a great, numerous and abundant amount of watercourses, water-floods or water-springs”. David declared how the Almighty “God” makes a sound like a powerful “thunder” and He is over the numerous waters of the world.

When we think through the words in this verse, we see how David exalts Jehovah God's “voice” and presence above the “waters” of the world. The voice, power and might of Jehovah God is worthy of our attention, and those who acknowledge Him will discover that He sent His Son Jesus into the world to die on the cross for the sins of mankind. Like a powerful thunderstorm, He “thunders” with His “voice” and declares over the waters of the world His salvation and rescue for the separation of people from a relationship with Him. His “voice”, though powerful, is often a “still small voice” that should cause us to respond by receiving His Son Jesus as our “Savior and Lord”. Let us join with David and declare the thunderous “voice” of the “LORD” over all the world and to the heart of every person.

Next time David says, “the voice of the LORD is powerful, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
